Kitting, pack-outs, labeling, and ship-to-store or distribution center
Hopkins is your single, end-to-end source for retail print. Our modern facility, experienced team, and attentive project management cover everything from prepress and prototyping to production, finishing, kitting, and fulfillment—tailored to your specs, no matter the size or complexity. With wide-format digital and screen under one roof (plus specialty finishing), we deliver full programs or individual POP components with consistent color and quality across every piece.
Tight timelines are standard in retail. Our team coaches projects from brief to delivery, aligning marketing, merchandising, and ops so nothing slips.
Our prepress team optimizes files for output, art reformatting, proofs and prototypes, imposition and layout strategies that cut waste—and a refined, trackable workflow that reduces lead time and headaches.
Photographic-level results with quick turns and low waste, up to 63” × 123” sheets. We print direct to polystyrene, Coroplast®, Sintra®/Komatex®, PETG, acrylic, vinyl, and paper using 6-color process + white.
G7® Master Digital qualified, with a quality-first platform (Inca Onset X, Onset Q40i, Fuji Acuity F) capable of ~120 beds/hour at 63” × 123” and >1200 dpi—so you get consistent, retail-ready graphics at scale.
40+ years of consistency backed by direct-to-screen exposure, color-curve tracking, and disciplined ink management. G7® Master Screen qualified.
Print on everything from glass and thick acrylic to thin Mylar; add spot colors and effects (metallics, glitter, translucents, frosts). High-speed formats on M&R Processor 6-color (64” × 80”) and Patriot single-color (52” × 84”).
CNC routing, digital die cutting, guillotine cutting, heat bending, lamination, back-slitting, and steel-rule die cutting —guided by optical registration for exact print-to-cut alignment.
We’re the first in North America with the Zünd D3 digital finishing system, doubling efficiency for faster turns, repeatable accuracy, and cost savings we pass along.
Kitting, collating, taping, mounting, bagging plus compliance labeling, kit-by-store pack-outs, and multi-destination shipping (store or DC).
Centrally located near Chicago, IL, we reach most U.S. locations via 2-day ground, helping you hit in-store dates and manage budgets.
High-volume, color-managed runs for magazines, brochures, stationery, and books—ideal for companion pieces that support your retail programs.
End-to-end bindery in house: cutting, folding, stitching, die-cutting, and folder/gluer work. Built for speed, accuracy, and clean presentation from postcards to stitched booklets.
Advanced data processing, inkjet addressing, inserting, and camera-match verification for complex kits. Postal optimization and in-home targeting keep spend efficient and timelines tight.
Print what you need—when and where you need it. Version SKUs by market or store, lock brand elements, and route approvals automatically.
Real-time inventory visibility, on-demand reorders, and SLA-driven turnarounds keep collateral fresh while reducing storage and obsolescence.
Your branded online portal centralizes ordering, versioning, and distribution. Role-based access, budget controls, cost-center tracking, and reporting make procurement simple.
Manage preprinted and POD items side-by-side, with inventory control, multi-ship, and optional SSO.
Template-driven customization that protects your brand: lock logos, colors, and legal; allow fields and images where it makes sense.
Users preview in real time, upload lists for variable data, and approve proofs online—then we automate preflight to production.
Curated merch that complements your in-store program, from giveaways to team apparel. We can host an e-commerce store, manage inventory, and handle pick/pack/ship—so branded items are as easy as your print.
